Sweltering Heat Persists; Showers Expected in Seoul Metropolitan Area and Gangwon Tomorrow

Even after the sun has set, the sweltering heat shows no signs of abating.

Following today (July 26), tropical nights are expected to continue tomorrow.

As tropical night advisories remain in effect for most parts of the country, tomorrow's morning low in Seoul is forecast at 26°C (79°F), marking the fourth consecutive day of tropical nights.

Intense heat grips the daytime hours.

Heavy heat wave warnings have been issued for the Yeongnam region.

Tomorrow, perceived temperatures in these areas are expected to soar up to 37°C (99°F).

For the time being, the North Pacific high pressure system will maintain its strength, keeping the relentless heat going day and night.

In Seoul, daytime highs of 33°C (91°F) or higher are expected to persist for the coming days.

Showers are forecasted for tomorrow, mainly centered around the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon region.

After the showers stop, high humidity will make the weather muggy and oppressive.

With the expansion of the North Pacific high pressure system, the monsoon season in South Korea has effectively ended, and no significant rain is forecasted for the near future.
